Games

If you haven't played them yet, I highly recommend them. I personally finished "Inside" in one sitting without planning to.

At least with GOG, you can keep the offline installers somewhere safe so you'll always have a DRM-less copy of the games.

Simulators are one of the earliest PC game genres, and remain compelling experiences to this day, even if they're not as popular as they used to be.

I like all kinds of combat flight sims; the MS Combat Flight Simulator from 1998 was something special, and I've had some similar fun in IL-2 Sturmovik. The newest civil air sims are pretty great too, I'll pop on a podcast and make a flight. They're particularly cool in VR.

I've also found the MechWarrior games to be fun, but I've only played 2 and 5. I got to play a bit of Steel Battalion with the full crazy controller at a con a few years back, and that's got to be a lot of fun once you really know what you're doing.

So what's your favorite sim?

Ross himself responds to the lobbyist group, takes down their flimsy points one by one.

I want to shed light on a tactic that involves collecting data as you play, feeding this data into complex algorithms and models that then alter the rules of your game under the hood to optimize spending opportunities.

I'm pretty sure this is the same guy who was ranting about Godot "being woke" last year lol

We want to address recent reports regarding the status of Romero Games. These reports have contained inaccuracies, and we feel it's important to set the record straight.

• The funding for our project was pulled, and our game was canceled.

• Due to confidentiality agreements, we cannot disclose the publisher's identity, though some may infer it from public information.

• As a result, we now have to reassess the entire staffing of our studio.

• Romero Games is not closed, and we are doing everything in our power to ensure that it does not come to that. Any suggestion otherwise is factually incorrect. Indeed, we were in the studio today to discuss next steps with the team.

• We've been contacted by several publishers interested in helping us bring the game across the finish line, and we're currently evaluating those opportunities.

We appreciate the outpouring of support and will share further updates as we are able.
